Al Lewis Part Of The Mix Lyrics

I met a man down in New Orleans
Singing his heart out on Bourbon St
And the passers by, they would sometimes stop
And drop him a coin in his thank you box
So he told them a tale
Of a love he had lost
And after these years he's still counting the cost
Etched on his face were the bruises and the blows
So he sings his heart out to comfort his soul
My heart's breaking and I just don't know
It's my love she's taken and I can't let go
The pain of loss isn't easy to fix
When losing her wasn't part of the mix
Well the longer I listened Well the more I learned
Of the life he'd led and the bridges he'd burned
Those he had loved had all been and gone
Now all he had left was this melancholy song
My heart's breaking and I just don't know
It's my love she's taken and I can't let go
The pain of love isn't easy to fix
When losing her wasn't part of the mix
My heart's breaking and I just don't know
It's my love she's taken and I can't let go
The pain of loss isn't easy to fix
When losing her wasn't part of the mix
